A fully automatic sputter coater that deposits a thin conductive metal film (Pt, Au or Au/Pd) on SEM and TEM samples. Non-conductive samples charge up in the electron microscope and spoil the image; a conductive coating a few nanometres thick removes this problem. The low-voltage DC magnetron head performs “cold coating” without thermal damage to delicate samples. Pumping, argon purging, coating and venting run automatically at one touch, and current and vacuum curves are shown live on a 7-inch touch screen.
